- **Event Description**: A performance lecture by artist River Yuhao Cao expanding on his recent film,  rooted in the mourning traditions of Southern China.About this EventThe Glass Essay is a performance lecture by artist River Yuhao Cao that expands on his recent film of the same name. The evening draws from traditions of mourning and the performative language of Southern China–particularly the mobile funeral stage-truck–to create a shared space where individual memory and collective resonance converge.The event weaves together a guided walk*, live mourning performances, a performance lecture and a screening of ‘The Glass Essays’. Through hums and musical gestures, you will encounter mourning and tremor as intertwined forces–fluid, sonic and communal.The evening extends the bodily and conceptual terrain of River’s film ‘The Glass Essays’. Inspired by Anne Carson’s skeletal image, the film experiments with mourning as a psychoanalytic method in filmmaking, and a way into fluid identities and queerness. The work is shaped by River’s experience growing up queer in a small Southern Chinese town and memories of his grandparents who performed in funeral processions with a mobile truck-stage in Nanxin, Hunan. Looking at lamentation in regional Chinese cultures through a queer lens, the film uses ritual and fluidity to confront the past and its ghosts.*The night walk will take place only if weather permits.What to expectA small-group event taking place after darkEntry through the designated park gate between 6:30–7pm only (no late entry)A short guided night walk through the park for 15-20 minutes (weather permitting)Gentle invitations to participate, including humming and listening exercisesLive sound, voice and mourning performanceA performance lectureA screening of The Glass Essays (17 mins)A calm and attentive atmosphere with moments of movement, sound, and stillnessKey Information [Must read]No entry after 7pmDesignated part gate location: https://w3w.co/trunk.ruler.ampleWarm clothing recommended for a night walkContent note: This event explores themes of mourning and grief.Ticket InformationTickets: General – £6 / Concession – £3Concession tickets are offered for those who might experience barriers in attending.
